Welcome back from Spring Break! The fourth quarter started today and with all classes, we got a little jump on our work before the break, so we came back to projects already in progress. Tenth graders are working on a Revolution project to prepare them for reading Animal Farm. Each group has chosen a revolution that occurred outside the US from 1750-1950. We brainstormed for questions and each group is researching for information about their revolution. We will see after we present if we can make some generalizations about revolutions from this and if what we learn holds true as we read the book. Tenth graders have a book report in class on Wednesday and then will present their findings to their classmates on Thursday.
Ninth graders are working on their Life Lessons project, where they read a book, interviewed someone (many of them chose a graduating senior), and then are adding their own life experiences to share what they've learned as high schoolers. They will share these with the middle school students next week, and we are also doing a parent presentation next week and hope you can join us. It will be Wednesday, April 5, during normal class times. Once we have our rough draft presentations, we may need to go to extend this into Thursday to get everyone's project shared. The life lessons they are sharing is really impressive, so hopefully you can attend to see the projects first hand.
Have a great week!
